How to get creative with McQueen in quarantine

If your itching to be arty but COVID-19 has you asking, how on earth? Alexander McQueen has the answer with exciting new initiative: McQueen Creators. The digital project will ask McQueen's followers to get crafty by "engaging artistically with their favourite pieces from a selection of images shared on our social channels." If you think that's good news, listen to this: the fashion house will even be sharing some of the company's favourite artwork across their social media platforms. With 9.5M followers on Instagram alone, will McQueen's initiative set you up as social media's answer to Picasso?

"Each week we will be asking you to be part of our creative community," read the press release. "Working together from home on a series of projects; sometimes with some additional inspiration from the McQueen team and collaborators in the form of digital tutorials."

This week's challenge is to sketch the AW19 Rose dress, inspired by the Roses installation at Alexander McQueen’s New Bond Street open studio. Future projects for the community will include 3D creation and embroidery from home, amongst other initiatives to be announced via McQueen's social channels. Paint, sketch, draw – there are no rules– just don't forget to submit your first masterpiece by 6th April to be featured on their channel. Happy creating!
